I’ve just lightly sanded my pads and banged them in the oven for an hr,will try them out tomorrow … If it hasn’t worked ill bin and start again

That’s torn it !!!
Mud tyres it is then :(

Never heard of the bike foundry till now and its only round the corner :)

Wouldnt mind a copy of the GPX if anyone wants to share it :D

5.30 for mtb or 6.00 if im on the road bike …. but im only a now and then commuter !

Even though its pretty close from me , i hardly get up there :( … must try and change that !
What mags the article in ?
was thinking of wyre forest sunday but may do the lickeys instead :)

As mentioned , suttons ok for a few hrs but flatish …. sandwell valley park is much the same but have new trails being built i hear :) .. otherwise its cannock or wyre forest near bewdley

Malverns, western Cotswold escarpment (Cheltenham, Stroud etc), FoD.

Did FOD 2 weeks ago which was ace,but bit further than what i want at the moment … for me FOD almost 70 miles
May look towards the malverns

Bit out of order her telling them that ….. Im married but really enjoy my own time and really dont like the social stuff , the mrs loves pubs , meals , nites out etc but id rather stay in or go and ride my bike … usually on my own ….. i often work on my own and much prefer it and even the wife has said im a bit of a loner as well ..
End of the day we arent all the same , some very social and some not social !

No idea , just put a pair of enduro on my bike tonite, will see how they work on sunday :)

@ rocketdog …. Love the back …. very well said :)

Not fork mounted , but i have 2 Atera Giro AF for sale, one of them only used once for the honc and the other used no more than 6 times :( both less than a few months old (have receipt etc)…. excellent roof carriers but have just changed the car and so had to go back to rear mounted rack .

The more i read these posts the more beer i think i`ll be drinking instead of riding and pushing ! :D

Better stuff if poss , have just had a look at auto glym, looks good but have never used it before ?

I did a 4 day week for over 12 yrs , 37 hrs over 4 days, LOVED having Fridays off and getting a 3 day weekend :D …… sadly that job has gone now and now working a full 5 day week ….. which after 18 months is still a struggle to work a friday :( ….
God i miss that job ….. Goood money and a 4 day week !

Fair play to you mate for getting back on the bike :) ….. don’t think id be so keen …

Am liking the salsa bend 2 bars :D

Liking the Radleys as they dont sweep as far forward :) ….. cant see any for sale though :(

Im not exactly local but do enjoy a few hrs up there , especially on the single speed :) ….. which is perfect for sutton

Only in SS flavour …..

I always ask and offer assistance if i see another cyclist with problems , wether its a roadie or mtber ….. doesn’t matter, we need to all stick together

I had a brief fling with a woman last year and she had private plates on her Audi … DI8 NNE …. not unsurprisingly her name was dianne !

WoW , some amazin memories there …
started my RC journey with a ….. and in order i think

Holiday buggy
sand scorcher
rough rider
super champ and then hot shot :~)….

had spells after those with a hirobo rock n vega !,kyosho scorpions, before the first Schumacher cats came out …… finished my electrics with associated RC10 …had others in between but cant remember them ! …
RC racing was a big part of my child hood :D

I start work at 8am , but leave the house at 6 ish … usually takes me 1hr 10mins to do the 19 miles

Commute now and then, did today .. 19 miles each way on the road bike, got a bit damp on the way home :( …. enjoyed it though :D … But i can do a mixture of road, bridal way and canals but thats 26 miles on the mtb ….. could do with a crosser if im honest !

dekerf nice but $2000 !!!

@ 40mpg …. thats what i already have , an 853 inbred slidey … just fancy something else :)

Do it urself , the forms are on the home pages of most of the banks, did mine and 8 weeks later a nice surprise from TSB :) …

as above … £350 upwards , depending on how many you have done at the same time …. there are porcelain veneers and composite veneers which are cheaper but arent as long lasting

Have a couple of veneers,had them fitted probably 20 yrs ago and have been fairly issue free, until the last few yrs where ive broken 2 in the last 18 months and then its an utter nitemare trying to get the colour to match again …. one is fine but the other one , ive never been happy with and Oh .. expect to pay from £350 for a single veneer 8O

Tiding my drive and garden, jet washing, cutting hedges and grass, quite a productive weekend .

Next year in Brum :) … cool , no need to camp for me …… we could do a big canal loop :)…. we dont have much in the way of beaches im afraid :(

My Karcher kept cutting out today and was red hot, thats lasted just over 12 months and only been used a few times …. bag of crap !

Yeah looking quieter break of poss, hate places where the kids run riot
hopefully end of june there wont be too many kids out there ?

Cheers , we have been looking at the Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort, which is right on the beach :)… all the barcelos look nice

That video is amazing !

No small CX`s in stock :(

Ive just come across this as well as ive just ordered a new car, mine is £365 for 3 yrs , which i thought was reasonable … id never heard of gap insurance before i entered the showroom !!.
Ive done a bit of looking around since and could of got the same cover for £169 !! :(

Will have some cruz roof bars and 2 Atera giro AF carriers for sale at the end of the month …. less than 2 months old (recipt to prove) and one bike carrier has only been used once ! (Honc) … the other carrier been used 4 times !
Bars are currently fitted to a Citroen C4 but its only the feet pack you need to buy to change over, and my reason for selling it all so quick, is we have just ordered a new car and cant fit roof bars too it and so have to have a towbar fitted ..

WANT ONE NOW !! .. wife just said AND where would we put it !! :(
